My flight isn’t until later today, and I noticed that the next concert on the @rocphils schedule was with @byron.stripling, so I decided to stop in to the rehearsal. I grew up playing trumpet, mostly Jazz, and this incredible human being was a huge inspiration to me! I don’t get star struck very often, but I was today! Byron, I’m so happy to have had the chance to meet you, and thank you for being not only a good musician, but a warm and generous person! 🤩🤩😍😍 . . . #orchestra #conductor #jazz #trumpet #idol #byronstripling #inspiration
